I comment a lot on stories having to do with state governments and legislation or regions of the country. It got me wondering how many people I’m accidentally disparaging when I don’t mean everyone in said state or region is terrible. So… Please be as specific or obtuse as your privacy filter requires. I’ll start:...

So far I’ve checked several “getting started”'s and FAQ’s and Google and everyone just tells me that it’s possible but nobody tells me fucking WHERE. So obviously I’m in need of help. Preferably with a diagram or colourful pictures.

This is a serious question, mostly addressed to the adult women among us but also to anyone else who has a stake in the matter....

It bugs me when people say “the thing is is that” (if you listen for it, you’ll start hearing it… or maybe that’s something that people only do in my area.) (“What the thing is is that…” is fine. But “the thing is is that…” bugs me.)...

Breakfast cereal served the standard way, in a bowl with cold milk poured on and eaten with a spoon. Does this count as a soup, why or why not? Defend your answer with logic (or emotion, whatever I’m not your dad)

I had this discussion with a friend, and we really couldn’t reach a consensus....

Damn, getting some hate for this post. Thanks, I guess. Lemme rephrase this post title, since this is the part I was curious about in the beginning anyway til everyone fixated on the “tion” and ignored the original ask altogether.

First let me be clear: I’m not a crazy conspiracy person (…on this) I just don’t rely on a municipal well. As far as I know adding fluoride to the private well at my houses is not a thing, good or bad. I did drink municipal water for two years when I lived on campus in college....

We only know about when humans mastered fire or started using metal. But we know the exact date when the first powered flight took place. What are some really early “first ____” we know the date of for sure?

Pretty much the title. Here is my best find so far. Really funny thread....

Spouse and I have a discussion on what to do after you pour a sauce out of a glass bottle. I do nothing but my wife takes her finger and wipes the excess from the bottle before she puts the lid back on. I think touching the food is disgusting and she thinks leaving it there to gum up the lid is disgusting. What do people do?

So our neighbors have been a growing problem for a few months now. They seem to be a flop house for six or seven people, most of them look high all day. They go out and Rev a Harley at 3am, they burn plastic been our houses in a fire pit, they have a new dog every two weeks because they keep getting out and getting hit by...

Just looking at the supposed moon-landing footage (including that really ridiculous bit with the sparkly module "lifting" back up off the moon), how can anyone with a brain actually think this is real?

What do you think about bringing back actual, live Gladiatorial games, involving participants fighting each other to the death in front of a live-TV audience, a panel of judges like on America's Got Talent/X Factor, fights with different historical themes like "The Battle of Verdun" or "Antietam", fights with animals like...

Posted with my thinkpad running Arch btw.

I’m reading more and more webtoon, which means that I get my comics by chapter not by volume. Is there a instance where asian comics are presented this way? I’m not against adding the chapter myself but I look for a community that’s also using the chapter format....

Basically the title I installed a game, played some, got bored and wanna delete it but then remembered that I used to have a tab long time ago and we’d mess with it by installing a ton of games , So at a point it got too hangy that we deleted every game but it still wouldn’t work as good so we had to factory reset the thing...

Even from people that never lived in a communist state...

Is there a name for this specific concept? Where somebody invents something (to do them good) but then that thing turns around and backfires on them?

I'd give people the right to know the names, addresses and all information related to all of the marketers behind the idea of spamming you with commercials and advertisements. Included is the ability to harass them just as much as they do by wasting your time and patience watching their dumb ideas in them....
